Shaymin (シェイミ Sheimi) is a Pokémon that is soon to be released as an Event Pokémon for the DS series of Pokémon games in correspondence with its appearance in the 11th movie. It is often compared to the like of Celebi and Mew. However, because of a lacking movepool and rather poor defensive and offensive type, its competitive placing is poor.
If traded to Pokémon Platinum, it transforms into Shaymin Sky Forme.
